Hey gang! I decided on the gym this morning! Wimped out on the weather! LOL 2 miles on the treadmill and other cross training. I notice however my right hip flexor is a bit sore! Now that I remember it was sore after my half last week too! lol Guess I'll see how it feels the next couple of days. I don't really have any real running plans over the holidays other than to not lose conditioning.

We are staying home for Thanksgiving, kids coming over from their schools. Except for our oldest who is coming from the city. He'll be spending Thanksgiving with his fiance at her folks home. They'll be coming to our house in the evening.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Joe

Hi everyone! Looks like I am way behind again. I have to dash right now, so I will try to check back later this afternoon. I got my 3 miles in yesterday, in between rain showers, and another 3 in today. I had to go buy a new lightweight running jacket before I could run today, though. My old one lost it's zipper and the only other I have is just too warm still. I tried it yesterday and was rather uncomfortable. It has been around 52 degrees for my last couple of runs. I have two days off from running this weekend. My feet have been a little achey so I'm glad for the rest.

I also get to go up to Seattle and see two of my former students dance. They are dancing professionally now and I can't tell you how proud I am of them. Hopefully I will be able to keep calm and not gush over them too much during, and after the performance. I am really very excited.

Is everyone staying home for Thanksgiving? We are headed down to Portland to be with my sister-in-law and family. The hotel we are staying at is right on the waterfront and it looks like I should be in good shape for getting my runs in. The day after, a bunch of us have hired a large van and driver to take us around Oregon's wine country for the day. The last time I did that I was pregnant, so it should be much more fun this time.

I'll try to come back for shout outs later, Erin

hey yall

i am cooking cooking cooking. 4 pans of sweet potatoes for the homeless shelter lunch tomorrow. cake for ds bday party also tomorrow, plus all the fixins for lunch.

got in the scheduled 5 miles this morning and i did the long hill route. i was bundled up again but warmed up when i got to the top of the third hill!

chuck.....thats right about changes in the weather. its up to the 60's tomorrow here!

runjr...hope you dont have to run inside too much. single digits rarely happen here. if it did get that cold, i think i would stay in bed with hot chocolate and electric blankie and see how much attention i could get from dh by whining about the cold. ha! no earrings for you? oh, well, anyway i was hoping my secret santa was listening! LOL

joe...hope the weather cooperates so you can get back out on the road.

macd...had to reread the post, thought you had golf ball earrings! stay warm, and hope you get in your long run outside.

maryb...hope your ds is better. nothing like a biscuit when you are feelin bad! great job on the 7 mile tempo!

downsouth...go for the full. but be sure to take your time and build a good base first. and be ready for LOTS of running! ha!

love to all

Good morning, everyone!

Not a whole lot to report here. Things are going well. If things go right today, I will run for my 3rd consecutive day. I have not done that in a long time. I have run for 49:18, 40:27, and 37:53 this week so far. I am aiming for a 45:00-plus run today. Even at an 11:00 mile, I am putting in more miles than I have in some time (Probably 15-ish). So... Onward and upward.

Tomorrow morning I will be bundled up and cheering for DW as she runs her 3rd ever 5K here in town. I have NO intentions of running a race anytime soon, but still, I get the itch sometimes. Just because... It is odd...

Speaking of odd, or rather, flat out insane... and those of you who have seen my Facebook page already know, but... I am seriously contemplating training for a full marathon. I am not sure that 2009 will be the year for it. It may be. What I want to be sure of is that I have something of a reasonable base prior to getting in too deep with distance training. I want to find a full with a reasonably do-able course, and focus on it. Again, this is hardly set in stone and if I decide to do this, I will completely re-evaluate my current 2009 race schedule. If I am going to do a full, I want to do it as well as I absolutely can.

Feel free to talk me off the ledge or whatever have you. LOL

Be well,

Dan

Good Morning! Just a quick check in. DS is doing ok. Wednesday after surgery and Wed night was awful. They gave us lortab for him- he HATES it! Yesterday was better. He finally ate a biscuit last night. I am just happy he is breathing better. I got my 7 mile tempo run in yesterday evening. There was no way I was getting up yesterday morning to do it! I have a 2 mile easy run today. Planning on doing that during his afternoon nap. It is cold here!!!!!!

No shoutouts today- the little man is calling.

Happy running!

Hey all! TGIF! And a cold one it is. I was going to walk the doggies for a while, but the wind chill was 7 and I didn't make it far. Hoping for a slight warm-up tomorrow so my lsd doesn't have to be on the TM. Hard to believe it's only November, it feels like January.

Cara, enjoy your day off work! I am taking next Wed. to make a 5-day weekend.

spicegeek, glad the concert was fun. Have a great vacation!

misswendy, that is pretty cold for you! I run with earrings, whatever happens to be in--usually plain old gold balls.

chuck, great 8 miles! Glad to hear you're buying your plane ticket. How long do you get to visit?

runjr, I hear you on the single digits. Take care of your knee, and keep warm!

Joe, good luck with your 5 miler--hope the weather cooperates!

Carmen, good luck on your half!

Everyone have a great weekend!
